  1. New Podcast: Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River

    9H AGO

    New Podcast: Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River

    Secrets Beyond the Sacramento River The first episode drops March 30th!  Each new episode will drop the following Monday.  We're seeking the answer to the question, "What happened to Jeff Anderson?" Jeff Anderson was just 40 years old when his car rolled into the Sacramento River the evening of September 9th, 2023. Despite 911 calls from eye witnesses confirming the entry point of Jeff's car into the river, rescue attempts were not conducted until September 13th- 4 days later.  Upon retrieval, law enforcement removed Jeff's car key from his front pocket of his pants. His car transmission was in "park."  Inconsistencies in stories about Jeff's last hours have raised more questions than answers: Was Jeff assaulted? Was Jeff helped to his car from a bar and taken water?  Was Jeff roofied? Was Jeff in emotional distress? We have witness statements submitted to law enforcement saying they were told by eye witnesses that there were two cars that evening, not one.  When the car eye witnesses were   followed up by law enforcement, this claim was denied ever being said. Why? We'll share dispatch calls.  We'll share incident reports.  We'll share toxicology reports.  Was this a horrific accident, or was this case closed without a proper investigation?  Why did the PI hired by the family take years to get the report back to family? Why was Jeff's car parked only to allegedly roll from a stop across a flat grade road, make a 90 degree turn, and then go into the water?  Why has Jeff's phone had multiple hacking attempts? Why wasn't Jeff's case looking into as a suspected homicide?  The stories the family were told by law enforcement alone will outrage you.  We'll be covering the witness reports, police reports, autopsy report, interviews, written statements, and our documented attempts to communicate with Sheriff Cooper and the District Attorney.  March 30th- Time to ask seek the answers to questions law enforcement should have asked before closing Jeff's case.  Podcast Hosts Jules Thorp and Jen Rivera A Fire Eyes Media Network podcast  Podcast script written by Jules Thorp  Podcast audio engineering and editing by Jen Rivera  Producers Jules Thorp and Jen Rivera What Happened To Jeff Anderson?

    Cases That Haunt Me: The Murder of Stacey Colbert

    In this episode of Case Uncovered, I’m introducing a new monthly series called Cases That Haunt Me. These are cases that have stayed with me long after the research ends. They are cases I have personally spent time investigating, cases where I have connected with the friends and family of the victim, and cases where the lack of answers still weighs heavily on everyone who loved them. Today I am revisiting the murder of Stacey Colbert. Stacey was a 23 year old marketing assistant living in Columbus, Ohio when a terrifying incident inside her apartment in March of 1998 changed everything. What began as an ordinary weekend quickly turned into a mystery that has haunted investigators, friends, and family for decades... I previously covered Stacey’s case in depth on Season 1 of The Unseen Truth, where I shared interviews with her friends, family members, and the detective on her case. If you want to dive deeper into the investigation and hear those conversations, you can listen to the full series wherever you listen to podcasts. To follow updates about Stacey’s case and help keep her story visible, please follow Finishing Stacey’s Fight, a page run by Stacey’s friends and family who continue to advocate for justice and share information about the case. You can find them on social media at Finishing Stacey’s Fight on Facebook @finishingstaceysfight on Instagram @finishingstaceysfight on TikTok If you have any information about the murder of Stacey Colbert, please contact: Delaware County Ohio Detective Bureau (740) 833 2830 This episode is sponsored by Safely, a women-founded company creating modern personal safety tools designed to help you feel more confident and prepared in everyday life.
